I confess it's hard for me to fully accept that we somehow get to share our lives with dogs. Honestly, I wonder sometimes if we even deserve them.

I have personally found the beloved mutts I've met to be among the smartest, sassiest, delightfully cute companions you could ever hope for.

I don't know what I'd do without my cats. They can be delightfully affectionate companions who can instantly lower your stress levels in almost tangible ways.

Maybe it isn't about equating animal rights to human rights, but about being more "human" in the way we defend those who can't defend themselves.

Enjoy great food and local brews. ETX Brewing Co. is such a fun place to be at any time during the year--but especially with pets and pics with Santa!

If you've ever experienced the heartbreak of losing your beloved dog or cat, you know what a true nightmare it can be. Micro-chipping can help you find them.

The Grove is already such a lovely place to be with great food. Add the presence of our beloved dogs and it gets added to the list of my "happy places."

A portion of every beer sold will go to the SPCA of East Texas. And they're offering free chips and salsa to patrons who bring an item to donate to the event.

This may be just the thing to inspire me to summon my inner axe-wielding warrior.

They deserve our love and yes, even respect. They are authentic. They teach us to be better. Who doesn't want to be the person their dog thinks they are?

Although the evening is to ultimately benefit the dogs and cats of East Texas, please leave your pet companions at home for this one!

Delicious food, fun times with our canine companions, and an opportunity to benefit the SPCA of East Texas.
